-# vulnerable-dependencies
-Simulates a repository with multiple projects, CPM, and vulnerable direct and transitive dependencies
+# Vulnerable Dependencies Sample
+
+This repository demonstrates a .NET 8 solution with multiple projects that include various vulnerable direct and transitive dependencies, managed through Central Package Management (CPM).
+
+## Purpose
+
+This sample showcases:
+- **Direct vulnerable dependencies**: Packages directly referenced in projects that have known security vulnerabilities
+- **Transitive vulnerable dependencies**: Vulnerable packages that are pulled in as dependencies of other packages
+- **Central Package Management**: Centralized package version management using `Directory.Packages.props`
+- **Security scanning**: How .NET detects and reports vulnerable packages during build/restore
+
+## Solution Structure
+
+```
+├── VulnerableDependencies.sln
+├── Directory.Packages.props # Central Package Management configuration
+└── src/
+ ├── VulnerableWebApi/ # ASP.NET Core Web API with vulnerable packages
+ ├── VulnerableLibrary/ # Class library with vulnerable dependencies
+ └── VulnerableConsole/ # Console application with vulnerable packages
+```
+
+## Vulnerable Dependencies Included
+
+### Direct Vulnerable Dependencies
+
+| Package | Version | Severity | CVE/Advisory | Project |
+|---------|---------|----------|--------------|---------|
+| `Newtonsoft.Json` | 10.0.1 | High | [GHSA-5crp-9r3c-p9vr](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-5crp-9r3c-p9vr) | VulnerableWebApi |
+| `NLog` | 4.4.0 | Various | Multiple vulnerabilities | VulnerableLibrary |
+| `System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt` | 5.1.0 | Moderate | [GHSA-59j7-ghrg-fj52](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-59j7-ghrg-fj52) | VulnerableLibrary |
+| `Microsoft.Data.SqlClient` | 1.0.19239.1 | High/Moderate | Multiple ([GHSA-8g2p-5pqh-5jmc](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-8g2p-5pqh-5jmc), [GHSA-98g6-xh36-x2p7](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-98g6-xh36-x2p7)) | VulnerableConsole |
+
+### Packages with Vulnerable Transitive Dependencies
+
+| Package | Version | Brings Vulnerable Dependencies | Project |
+|---------|---------|-------------------------------|---------|
+| `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer` | 3.1.0 | Moderate vulnerability [GHSA-q7cg-43mg-qp69](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-q7cg-43mg-qp69) | VulnerableWebApi |
+| `Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Console` | 3.1.0 | Various transitive vulnerabilities | VulnerableConsole |
+
+## Central Package Management
+
+This solution uses Central Package Management (CPM) configured in `Directory.Packages.props`:
+
+- **Centralized version control**: All package versions are defined in one place
+- **Consistent versioning**: Ensures all projects use the same package versions
+- **Simplified maintenance**: Easy to update package versions across all projects
+
+## Building and Running
+
+### Prerequisites
+- .NET 8 SDK or later
+
+### Build the Solution
+```bash
+dotnet restore
+dotnet build
+```
+
+### Run Individual Projects
+
+**Console Application:**
+```bash
+dotnet run --project src/VulnerableConsole
+```
+
+**Web API:**
+```bash
+dotnet run --project src/VulnerableWebApi
+```
+Then navigate to `https://localhost:5001/swagger` to see the API documentation.
+
+## Security Warnings
+
+When you build or restore this solution, you'll see security warnings like:
+
+```
+warning NU1902: Package 'Microsoft.Data.SqlClient' 1.0.19239.1 has a known moderate severity vulnerability
+warning NU1903: Package 'Newtonsoft.Json' 10.0.1 has a known high severity vulnerability
+```
+
+These warnings are **intentional** and demonstrate how .NET's built-in security scanning works.
+
+## Educational Use Cases
+
+This sample is useful for:
+
+1. **Security Training**: Understanding how vulnerable dependencies affect applications
+2. **Tool Testing**: Testing dependency scanning tools and security scanners
+3. **DevOps Pipeline Testing**: Verifying that CI/CD pipelines properly detect and handle vulnerable dependencies
+4. **Remediation Practice**: Learning how to identify and fix vulnerable dependencies
+
+## Fixing Vulnerabilities
+
+To fix the vulnerabilities in this sample:
+
+1. Update package versions in `Directory.Packages.props` to latest stable versions
+2. Remove or replace packages that don't have secure versions available
+3. Use `dotnet list package --vulnerable` to identify vulnerable packages
+4. Use `dotnet list package --outdated` to find packages that can be updated
+
+## ⚠️ Warning
+
+**This repository contains intentionally vulnerable dependencies and should not be used in production environments.** It is designed for educational and testing purposes only.
+
+## Sample Code Features
+
+- **VulnerableWebApi**: JWT authentication and JSON serialization using vulnerable packages
+- **VulnerableLibrary**: Logging and JWT token processing with security issues
+- **VulnerableConsole**: Database connectivity and logging with known vulnerabilities
